Remembering my mother on the day she passed away ten years ago. It is so hard to believe Mother has been gone for ten years! Those who have passed away are never really gone since we remember them in stories and pictures and talk about them with family and friends. Living the Life is never easy but remembering family and friends keeps us sane. My mother is loved and appreciated by many.

This evening while sitting in the house reading I had a feeling my Mother Maudy Beatrice Dagley Busby was with me as I read. Not sure why I had that feeling but Mother was with me for sure. Remembering our family members and sharing our memories of those family members keeps them alive and we all need to post our moments with those no longer with us. Mother seemed to want me to follow-up on the family history, something we both were doing before she died. Lucky mother knew I was sill looking into the family history and trying to get others to look into the family history. Feeling Mothers presence this evening was amazing, hard to explain but Mother is still watching over us in her own way - She told me to tell all of you to "Go Stand In the Corner" - Smiles

Maudie Saint Carmen Miller will be 1 year old on April 6, 2021. She has the same infectious, captivating laugh that grandma did. Her sister Townes has the same smile, and fire in her belly:)))))) Miss you every day, grandma.

Grandma... I see you smile every time you second great grand daughter smiles. Townes Saint Beatrice Miller carries on your name as Jack Dempsy Miller carries on grandpa's. Your third great grand daughter will be here in April, and her first name is going to be Maudie. I miss you, and I love you. These kids will know who you and grandpa were by what you taught Steven and I, by the legacy you left with us, and the stories we tell these children about you.

Bea was my first cousin, but she was closer in age to my parents than to me so I really didn't get to know her until later in life. I loved her for being my dad's first email friend when we got him a computer and he was struggling to learn how to use it! I loved sharing an interest in our family's history and in genealogy research with her. Most of all, I love her for how wonderfully welcoming she was when I went to Texas for a research trip with two of my sons. They adored her and Jack and still talk about the two of them.

My dad said she loved to take in strays.... I was one of those for a long time. She loved harder than any woman I've ever met... and it was unconditional, and honest even if it hurt.

How can seven years have passed since my Mother died? Mother always said "Remembering those who are no longer with us keeps them alive". The memories of Mother are always with me.

Remembering my Mother Maudy Beatrice Dagley Busby who was a sttong woman who took care of her family and in many ways and was loved and appreciated by many and feared by some. Lets take some time and post a note about a moment we had with Mother. How about her famous threat "Go stand in a corner " or calling your full name out to let you know you were in trouble.

Amazing how time passes these days, hard to believe my Mother Maudy Beatrice (Bea) Dagley Busby has been gone since Jan 2012. Mother was a very active woman her entire life, she enjoyed people, she enjoyed talking and getting to know folks. Mother could walk into Walmart or any other store not knowing anyone and come out knowing twenty people. Am sure Mother knows she was and is Loved and Appreciated. Happy Birthday Mother.

My Mother Maudy Beatrice (Bea) Dagley Busby always had fun on her birthday but she did mention several times over the years she felt the doctor messed up her birth certificate and that she was most likely born on the 12th or the 14th of January and not Friday 13th as her birth certificate stated. Mother did some research on the day of her birth and based don family stories and comments felt the do

I thank God almost every day that Mama and Daddy were my parents and for allowing me to be their child. Mama was very giving and shared what she had w/those who she saw as having a need. She collected people that she knew and those that she didn't where ever she was and held on to them through the good and the bad and was very vocal. Mama was worth knowing and loving.  She loved the Lord

As I have mentioned previously, Mother is missed each and every day. I know Mother is in a better place with Dad and yet I still expect to get a call from each of them. My mother and father are both missed but remembered each and every day.

Vinegar For Everything

January 3
by Julie Neal
Grandma Bea used Vinegar for everything. She would put it on her cucumbers while we ate them as we made dinner. Then she would tell me how to use it for everything else; laundry, cleaning, what foods etc. So now every time our family smells vinegar we say grandma is watching over us.

Weekends at Grandmas

January 4, 2013
by Julie Busby Neal

When I was little around 4 or 5 I went to Grandmas house a couple times a month.  She had broken her ankle and was still recovering when I came one weekend.  We were all in the back yard that Saturday, I was swimming in a metal washtub and running around the yard while Grandpa did yard stuff, and Grandma sat on the bench swing.  I don't remember what Grandmas wanted me to do but I wouldn't do it and she finally got upset enough to tell me Yes... I remember this part...if you don't come over here right now, the next time you do I will spank you!  I of course just giggled and ran my merry way.  About an hour later I had forgotten all about this and went to give her a hug and she spanked my little butt :-)  then told me I should never ignore her again and when she says she will do something she meant it.  Needless to say I never ran from her again ;-)  She used to tell me that story all the time.  She liked to tell everyone lol, but the funny thing is she probably only spanked me twice the whole time I was growing up.  I told her this once and she said that is because I learned my lesson from those two times and that she got her bluff in early :-) 

Smart woman.

O-I Slow Pitch Softball - Bea Busby

January 4, 2013
by Robert Busby

Back in the day when I was maybe 9 years old, so that would be about 1959, my mother was playing first base for the All Women O-I Glass Plant slow pitch softball team. This memory comes to me cause I spent all day trying to get into the 25th Street Theater to see a move, took me three hours, got in line after line, got settled, got my pop corn for this new Disney Movie and Mother ran into the theater and pulled me out kicking and screaming (not) cause we had to go to the O-I Glass Plant Country Club so she could play slow pitch softball! Do not remember much after that, but do recall seeing mother playing first base, catching the ball, throwing the ball, and even saw her hit a tripple, but think they lost that game, but again my heart was not in it since I did not get to see that Disney Dog movie...smiles and frowns. Mother did a lot of things for the O-I Glass Plant other than just work there...smiles.
